CPU cooler

[sreeve1993]

Hey guys,

Can anyone recommend a CPU cooler?
There are so many to choose from. And my budget is £50. I like the look of the new thermalright CPU cooler which is new on OCUK .

I have a GELID Tranquillo Rev 2 so hopefully I can get a decent upgrade from it.

I'd have to say a no to NOCTUA fans, they're too ugly!

Haha yeah I meant thermaltake lol.

I've been looking at all of those coolers you've mentioned. As well as the Brocken 2.

It's a tough choice, they all have good reviews.

I've seen the thermalright true spirit and I'm very tempted to get it as the benchmarks are incredible! There are two versions the Power edition and the Rev A.
One of those versions would block my PCIe slot, and it's being used at the moment with my soundcard. I'm sure it's the Rev A edition which blocks it too.

Thanks for that link, it's very helpful! Seems like my motherboard has no problems with any NOCTUA fans, only issue I have with NOCTUA is the ugly colours haha

In my signature you'll see what my rig has. I also have the Phantek Pro M case, it can fit in the Phantek cooler, the biggest one. Can't remember the code name.
